Architecture Capstone Project: Prototype - Architectural Model!











*****All Work Must Be Documented on your Online Portfolio*****


Step 1: Define the scope of your architectural model

  • What does "scope" mean in the context of designing/building a project? Document the definition (1pt)
  • Given your materials, ability and design, what portion of it are you going to physically model?
  • Document the scope of what you plan to build (Important for your instructor score below) (1 pt)



Step 2: Construct your Architectural Model

  • Safety first! Document 3 techniques from our 'How to Cut Like an Architect' video (below) in action (you could take photos of the techniques in action and describe them) (1pt)
  • Choose a scale for your design. The scale should be large enough to show off your work but not too large so that you don't run out of material. Document this scale in your write up and on your architectural model its self. (1 pt)




Step 3: Feedback



  • Client Feedback (3 points):
    • Engage with your client (show them your model) and solicit feedback (+, delta, ?, !). Record at least 3 pieces of positive feedback (+) and 3 pieces of change feedback (delta). 
  • Instructor Feedback (3 points):
    • Did you complete the model according to the scope of the project that was agreed upon? Does your model have a polished appearance?
  • Student Feedback (? points):
    • Gallery Walk!
      • Students will vote via colored post it note for the best build in the following categories (leave a short comment on your note to justify your choice). You may not vote for your own:
        • Pink Post-it: Creativity in Construction
        • Orange Post-it: Attention to Detail (quality of fabrication: cutting, glueing, etc.)
        • Yellow Post-it: Proportion (is there a scale specified and does your model maintain consistency with that scale?)
        • Blue Post-it: Best in Show (your subjective choice for a favorite model)
      • Document any feedback your design receives during our gallery walk.
